Reader request!

So today I will be doing my first request:

Question:  What do you like more and why, being a nerd or being a cowboy?

 This is an interesting question.  It is also one that not many people could actually answer.  I mean really?  How many people do you know can qualify for being a nerd AND a cowboy?  I know...me.  Yeah, that is it.  So, on with the blog.
Well, I guess I'll start with what I like about each.  I'm gonna start with being a nerd.  What can I say, I love being a nerd!  I love watching Dr Who and knowing way too much about Star Wars and other random things.  I love playing video games and reading comics.  These things are a great deal of fun.  There are few things like getting to see a D&D character that you have spent months building up finally slay the BBEG (Big Bad Evil Guy) and save the day.  It is actually quite surprising how satisfying it can be to just roll a die like that.  I really do love being a nerd.  I love it so much that I don't even hide it.  
Now for being a cowboy.  I love getting dirty.  I can think of no day more fulfilling than one I spent outside doing manual labor on a ranch or farm and coming home sweaty, tired and smelling to high heaven, but knowing that I put in a solid days work.  I love working with cows.  They are really stupid, and can be a pain sometimes, but there is a simple joy in working with these animals and watching them grow. (Plus its kinda cool to see an animal 5 times your size be scared of you)  On top of that, there is something almost spiritual about the cowboy life.  Yes, it often means a great deal of time alone, and even more in silence, but there is a power in that silence.  A stillness that just feels right.  There is truly something to be said about finding God in a hard day's work.  Jesus didn't grow up a scholar.  He didn't spend all of his time indoors.  David didn't have plush cushions as a child.  These men worked.  Jesus was a carpenter, a skilled craftsman.  David was a Shepard.  A life spent out in the wilderness fighting off dangerous beasts with nothing more than a stick and stone.  These were men.  There is truly, I feel, something of that in every man.
So in conclusion, I would have to answer this question, if I had to choose one that is, with cowboy.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a nerd, but more than that, being a cowboy has brought me much further on my walk with the Lord than any video game or comic ever will.  I find a deeper part of myself when I am out working.  I find the parts of me that God seeks to lift up.  I find the man he is turning me into.
So there ya have it, my first reader request.  Please, feel free to keep giving me ideas.  Comment and follow this blog as well.  You guys are awesome!  God bless!
